Description

Northwood Meadows State Park spans 664.5 acres in a wilderness setting. This wooded park has a vast wetlands area and is excellent for nature walks and picnicking. The easily accessible trails also make the park an ideal place for biking, hiking, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing. A trail map is available here.

The park includes a lake created by a dammed brook - a popular place for fishing and non-motorized boating. Access to water bodies in the Park is not available by car or vehicle and may include a walk of over 0.5 miles.

Trail Tips

Travel on Durable Surfaces
If your bike tires make an indent on the trail surface, it is too wet to ride. Come back when the trails have dried out.
